Most helpful review

Student village is a perfect choice if your faculty is on the Talbot campus. You can however choose it if you have a bus pass to for easy commuting to the Landsdowne campus if that is where your program lectures are based. Mostly the Business School and Health Sciences.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

The student village itself is in a great location, a very short walk to the facilities on Talbot campus and to a nearby corner shop. However, my experience here hasn’t been great. The rooms in the house I live in are nowhere near soundproof, unlike the other review says. This means that I’ve heard everything going on in the house, from people talking downstairs to people having *** in another room. Other than that it’s not bad for the money, and maintenance issues have been fixed quickly.

Great accommodation, got the last place here and I was expecting it to be an awful time considering the price and the type of people that would be put in this accommodation but I've had a lovely time. The rooms are incredibly well sound-proof, I can't hear my roommates at all and I can't hear anything outside, I can't say the same about others like Purbeck House where they have paper thin walls. The only problem I will list is that the service is pretty bad, I've been waiting 3-4 months for a freezer tray, that's pretty neat but everything else they've been on top of. The internet hits 100+ MBPS both download/upload speeds, it's cut off randomly late at night twice since my time here but that's about it. The social experience is meh, there's a common room with regular events but I personally haven't attended any. It's located right next to the main campus so that's very ideal and you're at the centre of the uni busses practically so you are able to take busses to town centre.
